A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer during
operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health
hazard.
NOTE:The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone
is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average
concentration. However, since the small amount that is emitted may
have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in
a ventilated area.

MAIN FEATURESHigh-speed laser copying First-copy time*1 at 300
dpi*2 is only 7.2 seconds. Copying speed is 20 (AR-M207) or 16
(AR-M162) copies per minute. This provides a big boost to workplace
productivity.*1 Measured after the machine has warmed up following
power-on, copying using the document glass (8-1/2" x 11" (A4) paper
fed from machine tray 1). The first-copy time may vary depending on
machine operating conditions and ambient conditions such as
temperature and power voltage. *2 "dpi" ("dots per inch") is a unit
that is used to measure resolution. Resolution indicates how much
detail can be reproduced in a printed or scanned image.
High-quality digital image High-quality copying at 600 dpi is
performed. In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, two
exposure modes can be selected: "TEXT" for text-only originals, and
"PHOTO" for photographs. The exposure can be adjusted to five
levels in each mode. Photo mode allows clear copying of originals
with delicate halftones such as monochrome photos and color
photos.
Enhanced copying features The zoom function can be used to
reduce or enlarge copies from 25% to 400% in increments of 1%.
(When the SPF is used, the zoom copy ratio range is 50% to 200%.)
Up to 999 copies can be made of an original scanned just once.
(This can be changed to a maximum of 99 copies in the key operator
programs.) The key operator programs allow functions to be selected
and managed to meet your specific needs. For example, access to the
machine can be controlled by enabling audit mode. The optional dual
function board can be installed to enable use of rotation copy and
other convenient functions.

TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFFThe power switch is located on the
left side of the machine.
POWER ONTurn the power switch to the "ON" position It will take
about 45 seconds for the machine to warm up. When the power switch
is turned to the "ON" position, the message "System check." will
appear in the message display and warm-up will start. Once the
copier has finished warming up, the message display will change to
"Ready to copy." and the START indicator will light up to indicate
that copying is possible. Copy settings can be selected during
warm-up. If auditing mode has been enabled (see the "Key operator's
guide"), the message "Enter your account number." will appear after
warming up. Once a valid account number has been entered, the
message display will change to "Ready to copy." and copying will be
possible.
POWER OFFMake sure that the machine is not in operation and then
turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.If the power switch is
turned off while the machine is in operation, a misfeed may occur
and the job that was in progress will be canceled.

Note
If the fax option is installed, be sure to keep the power turned
on. Faxes cannot be received when the power is turned off. The
machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default
settings one minute after a copy job is finished (auto clear
function). When the settings return to the default settings, any
functions that were selected are canceled. The auto clear time can
be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator's
guide".)
Power save modesThe machine has two power save modes to reduce
power consumption, thereby helping to reduce environmental
pollution and conserve resources.
Preheat modeThis function automatically switches the machine to
a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the
key operator programs elapses without the machine being used when
the power is on. In preheat mode the display turns off. Normal
operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel
is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job or fax is
received.
Auto power shut-off modeThis function automatically switches the
machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode
if the duration of time set in the key operator programs elapses
without the machine being used when the power is on. During auto
power shut-off, only the mode key indicators are lit. To restore
the machine to normal operation, press any one of the mode keys.
Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax
is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While auto power
shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than a mode key will
have no effect.The preheat mode activation time and the "Auto power
shut-off timer" can be changed in the key operator programs. (See
the "Key operator's guide".)

BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT
Special paperFollow these guidelines when using special paper.
Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using
other than SHARP recommended paper may result in misfeeds or
smudges on the output. There are many varieties of special paper
available on the market, and some cannot be used with this machine.
Before using special paper, contact a SHARP service center. Before
using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see
if the paper is suitable.
LOADING PAPERMake sure that the machine is not copying or
printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.
1
Loading paper in a tray
1
Gently lift and pull out the paper tray.If you are adding the
same size of paper, go to step 3. If you are loading a different
size of paper, go to the next step.
4
Fan the paper.Fan the paper well before loading it. If the paper
is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.
2
Adjust the plates in the tray to the length and width of the
paper. The plate A is a slide-type guide. Grasp the locking knob on
the guide and slide the guide to the indicator line of the paper to
be loaded. The plate B is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then
insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. When
using 11" x 17" sized paper store the plate B in the slot at the
left front of the paper tray.
5
Place the paper in the tray.
Plate B
Plate A
Note
Do not load paper higher than the line on the tray (up to 250
sheets). Make sure that the paper fits under the tab on the right
side of the tray. Make sure the stack of paper is straight before
loading it. When adding paper, take the remaining paper out and
combine it into a single stack with the new paper.
3
Push the pressure plate down.Push the center of the pressure
plate down until it locks into place.

BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT
Loading paper in the bypass tray
1
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray Up to
100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set in the bypass tray. Be
sure to place 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (A6 and B6) size paper and envelopes
horizontally as shown in the following diagram.
Open the bypass tray.
Pull out the bypass tray extension to load 8-1/2" x 14" and 11"
x 17" (B4 and A3) size paper. When loading envelopes, make sure
that they are straight and flat and do not have loosely glued
construction flaps (not the closure flap). Special papers except
SHARP recommended transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be
fed one sheet at a time through the bypass tray. When adding paper,
first remove any paper remaining in the tray, combine it with the
paper to be added and then reload as a single stack. The paper to
be added must be the same size and type as the paper already in the
tray. Do not use paper that is smaller than the original. This may
cause smudges or unclean images. Do not use paper that has already
been printed on by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This
may cause smudges or unclean images.
2
Set the bypass tray guides to the paper width.
3
Insert the copy paper (print side down) all the way into the
bypass tray.Make sure that the print side of the paper is face
down. To prevent a misfeed, verify once more that the bypass tray
guides are adjusted to the width of the paper.
EnvelopesDo not use the following envelopes, as misfeeds will
occur. Envelopes with metal tabs, clasps, strings, holes, or
windows. Envelopes with rough fibers, carbon paper, or glossy
surfaces. Envelopes with two or more flaps. Envelopes with tape,
film, or paper attached to the flap. Envelopes with a fold in the
flap. Envelopes with glue on the flap to be moistened for sealing.
Envelopes with labels or stamps. Envelopes that are slightly
inflated with air. Envelopes with glue protruding from the seal
area. Envelopes with part of the seal area peeled off.
Note
If you loaded paper in the bypass tray, press the [PAPER] key to
select the bypass tray.
